Scorsese's love of music has resulted in concert films with the Rolling Stones (Shine a Light) and the Band (The Last Waltz) as well as documentaries about Bob Dylan (No Direction Home). In 1987 he recreated the choreography from Cool in West Side Story in the video for the title track of Jackson's new album. The dance sequence, set in an underground car park, forms part of an 18-minute short film. It's about expensively educated Daryl (played awkwardly by Jackson) doing a dance to show his old friends "who's bad". Image Credit: Supplied picture
A woman named Shelly Smith has demanded $10 million (Dh36.73 million) from Michael Jackson's estate as she claims that the late King of Pop "ruined her life" by giving her the sexually transmitted disease herpes, almost 40 years ago.
Smith says she is certain that she caught the disease from Jackson, as he was her only partner, reports dailymail.co.uk.
"In 1979, I started having sexual relations with the decadent. Shortly thereafter, I began to get blisters on my legs, face and lips. He was my only partner," she said.
"At this time, I am unable to have a full and vibrant life due to the complications of this disease."
In a second claim, Smith alleges that she was diagnosed with "herpes simplex" after having sex with Jackson in 1977.
"Michael knew I was getting blisters on my body. However, he continued to have sex with me," she said.
Smith has made claims against Jackson in the past too. In January 2010, she had claimed she was secretly married to Jackson and was entitled to spousal support. But the claim was rejected.
